The Braves just aren’t going to die, are they? Yes, they picked up no ground in the NL East over the last two weeks thanks to Washington’s insane winning streak. But the team has now won seven of eight games, and has moved to just one game back of the Giants (even in the win […]

This brings back so many memories of my childhood…way to go, Cyclones.

What is it about old AL West stadiums, burst pipes and flooding? Normally, O.co Coliseum is the go-to stadium for such issues, but this time it is Angel Stadium’s turn. Ironically, the Angels are playing the A’s this weekend in Oakland. So while this won’t impact any games, it will give the two teams something to bond over […]

Cuban outfielder Rusney Castillo isn’t the same sort of player as fellow countrymen Jose Abreu and Yoenis Cespedes, according to scouting reports such as those compiled by Baseball America‘s Ben Badler. Yet the Red Sox are hoping the 27-year-old can make the same sort of impact in the major leagues and do so quickly. Boston is […]

On Friday, August 29th, the Albuquerque Isotopes are giving away star outfielder Joc Pederson’s 1994 Buick Century in a raffle. The car, nicknamed “Little Chucky,” has only 166,000 miles on it and has at least one operable window, which is really all you need. It is perfect for cruising around during the New Mexico summers […]

No Giancarlo this week…but there are still some bombs that deserve to be seen.

I crack jokes every so often about “good pitching days”, when multiple starting pitchers light the world on fire. Yesterday was probably the most prime example of this – 15 of the 16 pitchers that got starts went at least six innings, and 14 of the 16 threw quality starts. We also had four complete […]

A few seasons ago, things came together for the Washington Nationals. They won the National League East while looking like one of the most talented teams in the league. While they were upset early in the postseason, they were a popular pick to win the World Series last year. That didn’t quite happen, but it […]

Would it surprise you at all to hear that 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh takes going to baseball games seriously — perhaps too seriously? The man is there to catch some foul balls, and if he doesn’t get one, he’s not happy. The San Jose Mercury News‘ Tim Kawakami got this out of Harbaugh in a […]

Chris Rock was at Thursday’s Astros-Yankees game at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, and was sitting right behind the Houston dugout. Jon Singleton hit a foul pop up in the seven inning that came down feet away from Rock, and after a brief scramble, he ended up with the ball. And showing that he’s a […]

This time yesterday the Angels were on top of the MLB world having surged to the top of the AL West, proud owners of the best record in baseball. Then Garrett Richards collapsed in a heap of agony, blowing out his knee, ending his season and dealing a crushing blow to the World Series hopes of his Angels. […]

You might be hearing a common theme when talking about the AL East, one that completely sells the Baltimore Orioles short. The narrative surrounding the division is that “it’s just not that good”, which seems to infer that Baltimore is just lucky, or whatever. Quite frankly, that’s a load of crap – the AL East “stinks” […]

It happens once every 28 years or so in baseball, but officially protesting the outcome of a game can pay off. The Giants filed a protest with MLB following Tuesday’s 2-0 loss at Wrigley Field. The game was called after 4.5 innings following a 15-minute rainstorm during which the groundskeepers couldn’t probably cover the field […]

Garrett Richards was just stretchered off the field with a horrific knee injury and may have taken the Angels’ World Series hopes with him. It appears Richards caught a spike and blew out his knee. He was on the ground for eight minutes, screaming in pain before he was moved to a golf cart via […]

I love Bryce Harper. A player like that has the potential to be great for the game. He’s still a very raw talent, but there are plenty of tools to work with and he plays the game like his hair is on fire. There’s a lot to like. And yet, he takes home a very negative […]
